3'r being evident, from a steady decline of a proper 
celeliration of the national holidays of the United 
States of America, that popnlar concern in the 
events and men of the War of the Revolution is gradu- 
ally declining', and that such lack of interest is attribut- 
able, not so much to the lapse of time and the rapidly in- 
creasing flood of immigration from foreign countries, as 
to the neglect, on the part of descendants of Revolu- 
tionary heroes, to perform their duty in keeping before 
the public mind the memory of the services of their 
ancestors and of the times in which the}- lived ; therefore, 
the Society of the Sons of the Revolution has been insti- 
tuted to perpetuate the memory of the men whcj. in the 
military, naval and civil service of the Colonies and of 
the Continental Congress l)y their acts or counsel, 
achieved the Independence of the country, and to further 
the proper celebration of the anniversaries of the birth- 
day of Washington, and of prominent events connected 
with the War of the Revolution, to collect and secure for 
preservation the rolls, records, and other documents 
relating to that period; to inspire the members of the 
Society with the patriotic spirit of their, forefathers ; and 
to promote the feeling of friendship among them.

AT.MTCiHTY GOD, Who hast made the children of 
men fellow-workers with Thyself in establishing 
Thy Kingdom upon earth, we thank Thee for the 
inspiration that called into existence the Society of the 
Sons of the Revolution. \A'e thank Thee for the blessings 
that have hitherto attended it ; and we humbly beseech 
Thee to help us. who are now its members, to preserve 
inviolate the exalted rights and liberties for which our 
fathers fought and died. Help us to promote national 
union and national honor, and to render permanent the 
cordial affection and brotherly kindness toward one 
another wliich should ever dwell in the hearts of those 
who possess a common heritage, and finally, when we 
shall have accomplished Thy Holy Will here upon earth, 
receive us into Thv Everlasting Kingdom. Amen. 



Constitution* 



Preamble. 

Whereas, Tt has become evident from the decHne of 
proper celebration of such national holidays as the Fourth 
of July, W'ashinijton's Rirthday. and the like, that popu- 
lar interest in the events and men of the War of the Rev- 
olution is less than in the earlier days of the Republic ; and 

Whereas, This lack of interest is to be attributed not 
so much to lapse of time as to the neg'lect on the part of 
descendants of Revolutionary heroes to perform their 
duty of keepinij before the jiidilic mind the memory of 
the services of their ancestors, and of the times in which 
they lived, and of the principles for which they con- 
tended ; 

Therefore, The Society of the "Sons of the Revolution" 
has been instituted, to perpetuate the memory of the men 
who, in military, naval or civil service, by their acts or 
counsel, achieved American Independence; to promote 
and assist in the proper celebration of the anniversaries 
of Washington's Birthday, the Battles of Lexington and 
Bunker Hill, the Fourth of July, the Capitulations of 
Saratoga and Yorktown, the formal Evacuation of New- 
York by the British Army, on the 3d of December. 17815, 
as a relinquishment of territorial sovereignty, and other 
prominent events relating to or connected with the War 
of the Revolution ; to collect and secure for preservation 
the manuscript rolls, records and other documents and 
memorials relating to that War; to inspire among the 
members and their descendants the patriotic spirit of 
their forefathers ; to inculcate in the community in gen- 
eral sentiments of Nationality and respect for the prin- 
ciples for which the patriots of the Revolution contended ; 
to assist in the commemorative celebration of other great 
historical events of National importance, and to promote 
social intercourse and the feeling of fellowship among its 
members.

The Rt. Rev. Henry Yates Satterlee, the first bishop 
of the Protestant Episcopal Diocese of Washington, was 
a most beloved clergyman as a spiritual father, a power 
of strength for righteousness in the moral life, a leader 
of men. a fighter for right, of infinite sympathy and 
tenderness with all who suffered, or professed faith in 
Christianity, and the preacher of a broad religion. His 
last words were: "Sanctus, sanctus, sanctus." He 
founded the new Diocese of Washington on generous and 
strong lines, befitting the nation's capital, and secured 
the land and plans of a magnificent Gothic cathedral on 
Mount St. Alban's. His loss is very great to churchmen, 
to the city and to the country, because he inspired the 
workers everywhere with confidence and zeal. 

He was a graduate of Columbia College, 1863, and 
received the additional degrees of A. M., 1866 ; LL. D., 
1897; D. D.. ITnion. 1882. and Princeton, 1896. He was

He was chosen to bear a non-political message to Czar 
Nicholas H., entreating him to use his influence, in com- 
bination with other Christian Powers, to put an end to 
the massacre of Armenians, thereby representing forty 
millions of people. He was conspicuous in the councils 
and missionary boards of his church at home.

ton, D. C, November 9, 1854. Died in Washington, June 
28, 1909. 

Great-grandson of George Bender, private in Colonel 
Ward's Regiment, Massachusetts Line. 

Mr. McDermott, although a lawyer by profession, spent 
practically his entire life in the government service at 
the national capital. He was the son of William Mc- 
Dermott and Josephine Bender McDermott. He received 
his early education at Emerson Institute, in this city, 
under Dr. Young. While still a boy, he went to work 
in Georgetown, and later was employed for a time at 
Mount Vernon, Va. He studied law^ at the National 
Law School, graduating in the class of 1878. In July, 
1879, he was appointed to a position in the General Land 
Office, where he received rapid promotion for merit. 

In 1884 he married Miss Anna Virginia McKeever ; 
they had one son, Frank Alexander, a member of this 
society. His first wife having died in 1889, in 1897 he 
married Miss Ella L. Thayer. His second wife and 
their son. Thayer, also survive him. His death on the 
morning of June 28, 1909, followed his return, on account 
of ill health, from a detail to certain of the local land 
offices in California.

Mr. McDermott attended the Episcopal Church, al- 
though he was not a member. Had he lived, he would 
have been designated as a law examiner in the Land 
Office on July 1, 1909. Though a member of the District 
Bar, he had not practiced for many years, as he had been 
in the Land Office for thirty years. 

His brother, Charles Fisk McDermott, was a member 
of the District of Columbia Society, Sons of the Revolu- 
tion, at the time of his death, April 13, 1895. His sister. 
Miss Jessie McDermott, was an artist of prominence, in 
child studies especially (much of her work appearing in 
children's magazines), and married Charles Hosmer Wal- 
cott, then chairman of the Massachusetts State Board 
of Arbitration. 

HENRY CLARK CORBIN. 

Soldier, Lieutenant-General U. S. A. Born in Cler- 
mont Co., Ohio. Sept. 15. 1S42. Died in New York City, 
Sept. 8, 1909. 

Great-grandson of John Corbin; Private, ord Regiment, 
Virginia Line, commanded by Colonel Wheaton. 

Lieutenant-General Henry C. Corbin was born and 
reared on a farm in Clermont County, Ohio ; was edu- 
cated in the common schools and at a private academy. 
and studied law 1860-1. He entered the Union Army 
1862, as Second Lieutenant, T9th Ohio Vols., and was 
with the Army of the Cumberland until the close of 
the war, holding all grades up to Colonel and Brevet 
Brigadier-General of \ olunteers. He entered the 
Regular Army as Second Lieutenant, Gth L^. S. Infan- 
try. ]\Iay. 1866; was promoted to Ca]itain. LSI!*; served 
on the Western frontier for ten }ears ; in 1877, was on 
special duty at the W'hite House: served as Secretary 
of the Sitting Bull C\)mmissi()n ; was with President 
Garfield when shot and at his bedside when the Execu- 
tive died; was appointed Major and Assistant Adjutant- 
General in 1880; gradually rose in rank to Brigadier- 
General and Adjutant-Cjeneral of the Army, Feb. 25, 
1898 ; was made Lieutenant-( General of the Army, April, 



70 SOCIETY OF THE SONS OF THE REVOLUTION 

1905, and transferred to the retired list in the following- 
September. 

General Corbin was an officer of notable ability as an 
organizer and disciplinarian, and had a remarkably bril- 
liant career in the Army. He saw long and hard ser- 
vice in the Civil War, in the Indian campaigns on the 
frontier, in the war with Spain and later in the Phil- 
ippines during the insurrection. For twenty-six years 
he was attached to the Adjutant-General's office, and 
was at the head of that office during the Spanish-Amer- 
ican War, the campaign in the Philippines and the 
Chinese Boxer troubles. He possessed the confidence 
of Presidents Hayes, Garfield, Arthur, McKinley and 
Taft. He carried out the orders of President Cleve- 
land in sending United States troops into Illinois to 
prevent interference during the Debs railroad strike. 
In the reorganization of the Army under Secretary of 
War Elihu Root many of the duties of tbe xA-djutant- 
General were transferred to the Chief of Stafif. and 
General Corbin served for a time as Assistant Chief of 
Staff under Lieutenant-General S. B. M. Young. On 
request for a line assignment he was placed in command 
of the Military Division of the Atlantic, with headquar- 
ters at Governor's Island, New York Harbor, and after- 
wards was sent to command the Army in the Philip- 
pines. After two years there he was transferred to the 
command of the Department of the Missouri, with head- 
quarters in St. Louis, and continued there until his re- 
tirement. The last years of his life were spent partly at 
his country home in Chevy Chase, D. C, and partly in 
Europe. 

While touring- I'rance, General Corbin was stricken 
with an illness from which, on his return to New York, 
he died. He is survived by three children by his first 
wife, as well as by his second wife, who was Miss Edith 
Patten, whom he married in 1901. He was a member 
of many clubs and societies, including the Army and 
Navy, the Chevy-Chase, and the Country Club of Wash- 
ington, and the District of Columbia Society, Sons of 
the Revolution.

ON

Introduced by the President of the Society, Mr. William Stone Abert, Mr. 
Burton said : 



M 



•R. PRESIDENT, 1 thank you for your most 
friendly tribute to the State of Ohio. It is for us, 
its living citizens, to try, if we may, to maintain 
the traditions of the past, always bearing in mind that al- 
though Ohio may be great, her real greatness must al- 
wa3^s rest upon the fact that she is one of the States of this 
great Union. 

It is with a feeling of optimism that I look upon this 
audience to-day — of optimism for the future of the Re- 
public — especially when I recall a similar gathering held 
on the twelfth of this month in New York City, in cele- 
bration of the One Hundredth Anniversary of the birth of 
Abraham Lincoln. Patriotism and honor for the heroes 
who have made our country what it is, are not dead. They 
are not even sleeping. I congratulate the members of this 
Society for their part in keeping alive the force of patriot- 
ism. It is a priceless heritage to be an American citizen, 
but a notable distinction is added to those who are the 
descendants of the men who, always in privation, often in 
discouragement, and sometimes almost in despair, per- 
severed until the triumphant conclusion of the great 

• T^e exercises, held in the New Maaonic Temple Auditorium. New York Avenue and 
Thirteenth Street, N. W., at 10 l^ A. M., attracted a notdbit assembl'igt, representing offi-

tendance of members of the Society, nnd, their guests included the dean of the Diplomatic

a seat on he stage, and at the (vnclii.v^m of Mr. Burton's address spoke briefly on the historic 
Franco- American friendship. 



74 SOCIETY OF THE SONS OF THE REVOLUTION 

struggle. To them we cannot pay too great a tribute of 
honor, and there belongs to their descendants an especial 
responsibility to maintain their ideals, to equal their cour- 
age, and to observe the same standards in military and in 
civic life. 

The influence of every great man who has played an 
important part in the world's affairs has a to-day and a 
to-morrow — results gained in his lifetime, and those 
which follow in after years. The problems of the differ- 
ent generations are much the same. Age after age pro- 
gress ma)^ bring its differences and its peculiar situations, 
but the great fundamental principles continue through all 
the years of any State. What is the influence of Wash- 
ington on present-day problems? That influence must be 
traced in the first instance by the work of his life. He 
had the traditions of the descendants of the Cavaliers— a 
respect for authority, an idea of subordination. To them 
was added the history of his family in the great common- 
wealth of Virginia — the life of a country gentleman, cour- 
age to face the perils of early life in a new and wild coun- 
try in contact with savage tribes. 

George A^'^ashington was a many-sided man. Perha])s 
first in his characteristics must be named his courage. 
No commander-in-chief ever .so boldly faced the hail of 
bullets on the battlefield as did George Washington. 
Battles were gained by his rushing into the deadl}- breach 
when victory seemed lost and defeat appeared inevitable. 
There was in him an unswerving confidence in the tri- 
umph of the principles for which he was fighting. In the 
days before the Revolutionary War he had been perhaps 
somewhat less prominent, certainly less prominent in 
oratory, than man}^ of those engaged in the movement in 
other States, but no one more than he recog^nized that 
those colonies must observe their rights and that eventu- 
ally there would be a severance from the mother country. 

If we look back now upon the map of the United States 
or of the Colonies, and consider the type of the early 
settlers, several things were inevitable: First, some day 
there would be independence. It was impossible that a 
country of so great possibilities could be governed from 
afar — governed as it had been, in the interest of a people 
remote from it and understanding little of its aspirations, 
and having only a faint comprehension of its boundless 
possibilities. It was inevitable that it should l)e a free 
country because in a very unusual degree those who had 
come here had come to obtain larger liberty of action and 
of conscience. It was inevitable that it should be a land 
of civil and religious opportunity. It was !ne^•itab1e also 



IN THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA 75 



that its borders should spread from the lesser to the 
greater ocean. When the earliest pioneers had gone 
across the Alleghenies into the Mississippi Valley, there 
could be no rest until they possessed it. And when they 
passed into the great valley of the Mississippi it was also 
assured that they would go beyond the greater moun- 
tains and would find no resting place until they should 
reach the Pacific. 

Jt was part of fate that this should be one country in- 
divisi'ble. Nature had made it so. There might have 
been at times a withdrawal of some portions. A success- 
ful war might for a time have severed the country, but 
eventually the larger and the stronger portion would have 
subdued the weaker, so that in all this great theatre of 
action there was sure to be a new problem of government. 
a new development of power worked out by one united 
people. It was inevitable that it should be a country 
matchless in opportunity and almost limitless in power. 

George Washington, more clearly than any other man, 
foresaw the future of this country. In whatever he advo- 
cated he sought to provide, not merely for the passing 
present, but for the future ages in which the country that 
he loved so well should develop more and more as the 
ages passed by. It is said of him that he was a man of 
commanding presence, and that gave him a certain degree 
of authority, but most of all we can rely upon that influ- 
ence in him, or we must look back to that influence in him 
which was founded on calm and impartial judgment, a 
judgment which was based upon conscience and integrity, 
the great factors which give influence in the world after 
all. He may have been great as a gentleman. He may 
have had those ideas which gave him the highest qualifi- 
cations as a statesman, but more than the statesman and 
the gentleman his influence in his day and for all time is 
hased upon the man, George Washington. 

When there was fear as to the form and establishment 
of the new country under the constitution Hamilton, in 
arguing with an anti-Federalist, said: "Your fears are 
folly, for George Washington will be the first President 
under this Constitution." (Applause). That was an ar- 
gument which was unanswerable because it nieant the 
confidence of the people, a confidence which he possessed 
in a degree which no one had ever possessed before him. 

His influence on present-day problems may. as I say, be 
traced to the work of his life, to his ideals and his ex- 
ample. They were summarized in that immortal docu- 
ment, the Farewell Address. T wish it could be read more 
frequently, for as a guiding chart it is not surpassed by 



76 SOCIETY OF THE SONS OF THE REVOLUTION 

any charter wrested by barons from the king-, not even by 
the immortal Declaration of Independence itself. It 
breathes the spirit of a man who, like a father, is talking 
to his children. It is, in its essence, the word of one who, 
with broad sweep, sees all the dangers of his people, and 
with calmness, with love for them, with patriotism, 
points out all the dangers before them and the course 
which they should pursue. 

What were some of the fundamental ideas which have 
governed their influence to-day? First, that we should 
take advantage of our magnificent isolation. It was a 
country in which there were no frowning fortresses on the 
border. There had been some degree of feeling with 
Canada, but here we were apart from the quarrels and dis- 
tractions of the (31d World. It was, first of all, desirable 
that the long periods of war which had prevailed in Eu- 
rope, made up of contests over the new world, the out- 
come of the rivalries and jealousies of kings, should find 
no lodgment in this new land of freedom, and so peace 
was advised. But never a peace which should be without 
security. Entangling alliances were condemned. In his 
own language there should be neither antipathies which 
were inveterate nor attachments which were fashioned for 
other countries. He recognized that in the thread of the 
coming 3'ears relations with one country or with another 
might change, and that our policies should be one of good- 
will toward them all, of protection against aggression, but 
especiall}^ of harmony and so far as possible, co-operation 
with all. He uttered the aspiring, ambitious sentiment 
that the time might come when ours might be an ex- 
ample of a people always guided b}^ an exalted justice and 
independence. 

When was thert' a time when this applied more than 
to-day? Our country, exceptional in its location, excep- 
tional in its great growth and boundless responsibilities, 
exceptional in the spirit of free institutions, in the pos- 
session of equal opportunities and ample resources de- 
serves to stand apart from other nations of the earth. 
Let them engage in their conflicts, though we trust that 
these may he diminished year by year. Let them have 
their rivalries for the position of power and the possession 
of provinces, but here in a new era, under a country dedi- 
cated to freedom, it was Washington's am'bition and it 
should be ours that peace should prevail, and that what- 
ever of power, whatever of growth we gained, should be 
from the peaceful spirit of our people without aspirations 
or ambitions toward war i-)r toward intrigue. (Loud ap- 
plause) . 



IN THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA 



In another place and on another occasion 1 have said 
that when history is made up the one thing to be most 
remembered in the year 1908 is the appalling calamity- 
arising- from the earthquake in Italy — the enormous loss 
of life, the terrible suffering. The one thing in our legis- 
lative body which will be longest remembered is the vot- 
ing of a sum of money to aid the dying and the sick and 
the suffering in that friendly land. It was a recognition 
of the fact that our hands go out over natural barriers. 
over mountains, over rivers, and over the very sea itself, 
and that we are willing to give of our abundance and of 
our wealth to a people suffering and in peril. This was a 
type of what Washington would have loved to advocate, 
to give of our abundance and to declare our friendship to 
all the nations of the earth. 

In many lesser things he has given an example which 
has its influence on present-day problems. As stated in 
his Farewell Address : Cherish public credit. He was the 
foe of repudiation. The Colonists were saddled with 
enormous deibt, some of it somewhat doubtful in its qual- 
ity. He was the unswerving opponent of anything that 
looked like disregard of these obligations. He believed in 
a strong nationality, and believed also that to maintain 
our national strength and power, our credit at home and 
abroad, it was necessary that we should avoid the least 
stain of repudiation. And wlien, in our day. efforts have 
been made to debase the currency,, whenever efforts have 
been made to scale down debts under the form of contin- 
uing depreciated forms of money, a summary of the views 
of Washington, the opinions that he expressed, have been 
among us as an influence to cause us to stand by financial 
honor, no matter what the cost might be. He was an ad- 
vocate of unswerving enforcement of the law, of respect 
for duly constituted authorities. He was insistent upon 
the prerogatives of the President, for one of his first mes- 
sages to the Senate is one merely finding fault with them 
for rejecting one of his appointments. He was insistent 
upon all dul}^ constituted forms of authority, upon their 
maintenance. He also insisted that there should be no 
encroachment by one of the three great departments of 
the government on the other. 

One of the foundation ideas in our constitution is the 
division in legislative, executive and judicial poAver. T.et 
no timorous soul believe that anyone of these three will 
usurp the power for itself. The spirit for freedom, our 
fondness for the checks and 'balances which belong to this 
system of government, is too strong for it to be done 
away with. We have not perhaps a government charac- 



78 SOCIETY OF THE SONS OF THE REVOLUTION 



terized by the greatest degree of response to the popular 
will. Some writers, in describing our system, have de- 
scribed it as truly a formidable apparatus to prevent 
change. Instead of a single chamber, we have two legis- 
lative bodies. These two have the check of the Presiden- 
tial veto. Then over and above and 'beyond this is the 
Supreme Court which can pass upon the validity of laws 
that are passed, and determine whether these laws are in 
accordance with the Constitution. It is an essential part 
of our system that not the first but the second voice of the 
people is the voice of God, and Washington was an advo- 
cate of this idea. 

We hear much of encroachment on the legislative 
branch, of increasing power by the judicial and the execu- 
tive branches. I want to call attention to this idea as 
furnishing the basis for these thoughts, for the arguments 
which arise for usurpation. Every branch of the govern- 
ment will receive credit in accordance with its perform- 
ances of its duty and its utilization of its opportunities. 
If the legislative branch draws laws or statutes listlessly. 
then the courts and the judicial branch will have greater 
power. If the legislative branch fails to keep pace with 
the demands of advancing progress and of new ideas, 
then greater power will inevitably gravitate to the judi- 
cial and to the executive branches of the government. 
And so it is in its relations between the state and the 
central government. If the states perform their duties 
well within the scope of their action, then there is for 
them a theatre of action of which no one — not even the 
most ardent advocate of state rights — can complain. But 
if civic pride is dead in the state, if the functions which 
belong to them are sought to be transferred to the na- 
tional government ,if while declaring for state rights and 
state independence they seek appropriations from the 
national treasury to do what they should do themselves — 
then and in that case there is inevitably to be a partial 
eclipse of the states and a growth of the centralized 
power at Washington. Just as there is an advantage in 
freedom that gives opportunity to each individual, so 
there is an equal advantage giving opportunities to 
states, cities and minor communities, because if thev feel 
that they have their part to do, and strive hard to do it, 
there will be a stimulus to good citizenship and indi\'idual 
responsibility. But if everything must be done here at 
Washington, in a place remote from many portions of the 
country, then that civic interest and civic pride which 
should characterize every community will deca\- and al- 
most be lost. 



IN THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA 79 



Washington's influence was in repression of the dema- 
gogue, of selfish interests. He decried parties founded 
on geographical discriminations. One of the great dan- 
gers of today is that in the absorption of the large share 
of our people in commercial or professional pursuits, the 
interests at stake shall be neglected. Against this tend- 
ency Washington interposed his might and the choicest 
expressions of his mind. He believed that everyone who 
possessed citizenship in this country of ours should day 
by day give attention to the upbuilding and to the protec- 
tion of his country. In any turning aside from patriotic 
duties, more than in anvthing else, is to be found danger 
to the state. The real culprit is not the man who is in 
politics, but the man who is not. (Applause.) I am 
aware that this falls somewhat ungraciously upon an au- 
dience in the District of Columbia. (Laughter and ap- 
plause.) Opportunities for such activity here are not as 
great as they are in other portions of the country. Let 
no men carp at the man in office unless he is willing to 
do his part in bearing the burden. (Applause.) 

I have sometimes spoken on the rights of the politi- 
cian. One of the rights of the politician is that some- 
times a certain degree of honor will be given to him after 
he is dead, but it" does not always belong to him in his 
lifetime. One of the rights of the politician is to have 
the fair, dispassionate judgment of his fellow-citizens, a 
judgment which even Washington did not have during 
a good share of his life. He was irritated by the voice of 
slander and detraction oftentimes to impatience. Let us 
realize that those who are in public station are often- 
times subjected to temptation greater than that under 
which the angels fell from Heaven. Let us realize that 
however much a man may devote himself to public ser- 
vice his motives are liable to be belied, his course mis- 
understood. Let us lay down as ariOther right of the 
politician a public opinion that aspiration to the public 
service and a participation in its duties is a proper career 
whic'h should attract the l:)est and al)lest of our citizen- 
ship. Too often I have seen the thought of disparage- 
ment, and even its expression, visited upon those who de- 
sire to give attention to public affairs, as if some deep- 
laid scheme was behind the office which he sought, as 
if that which a man does in public station was endowed 
by ulterior intent so that his motives might be entirely 
rnisconstrued. It is the right of the man in public life 
to have respect and honor when he follows the path of 
conscience. I have so often seen that the only man who 
))rings to himself strong political support is he who favors 



80 csOClETY OF THE SONS OF THE REVOLUTION 

some special locality. There is no way to gain popularity 
quite so effective as to obtain large appropriations from 
the PVderal Treasury. (Applause.) The man who stands 
for the general welfare, who stands for economy, for 
orderly distribution of the fruits of government accord- 
ing to the general welfare, must remain almost unsup- 
ported. If I were giving any advice to the electorate it 
would be : When you see a man who stands like a log 
against selfish and local interests, and makes his platform 
the good of the whole country, that is the man whom you 
should stand by. (Loud applause.) 

So like a pillar of strength the life of Washington is 
before us, first for obtaining independence, then for that 
even more difficult task of forming a stronger union for 
which in almost his dying hour he asked the support and 
affection of his people, and then by his example, by his 
public and private life, affording an example which the 
world has followed and admired and which in every day 
of darkness and of danger will strengthen all those who 
with devotion to him and with patriotism seek to ad- 
vance the interests of this government of ours. 

Whenever there is a time when patriotism seems de- 
cadent, the people of this country will look back to 
Washington. They will look to the da)^ when in New 
York City by the City Hall, Chancellor Livingston, after 
administering the oath, said : "Long live George Wash- 
ington, President of the United States." To the im- 
pressive response that came from the crowd : "Long live 
George Washington, President of the L^nited States," 
and for the maintenance of higher ideals and true pa- 
triotism ma}^ we say today: "Long live the fame and 
the influence of George Washington, father of his coun- 
try." (Loud and long-continued applause.) For today, 
no less than in the days when Lee pronounced the 
eulogies upon him, and in the future as well, history will 
speak of him as George Washington, in times of bloody 
conflict, first in war; in times of tranquility, first in 
peace; and then, now and always, first in the hearts of 
his countrymen. (Long continued applause.)
